I'm the author and I agree with you relying on more authoritative sources when it comes to proper writing. I enjoy coding, pulled this from my list of stupid ideas and implemented it for fun. But apart form that, I sometimes really have difficulty finding some synonyms (English is not my first language). For example, it's hard to find another word for "very red"! So I usually end up asking ChatGPT.

I appreciate that you made it, and I have heard good things from other language learners using LLMs. I think it’s awesome that you made the site! I’m mostly just very particular about my workflow and don’t like to rely on tooling to write. I realize that I may be privileged as a native English speaker also. Please don’t interpret my comments disparagingly, because they say more about my particular use case and quirks than they do about anything you have done here.

  No worries, I appreciate your feedback. I would love to turn off the tools and rely on my brain for writing, but the fear of missing something always catches me.

    What do you plan to do with the site going forward? It’s a catchy domain name and the execution is pretty simple and straightforward. Maybe you could add a blog for words and substitutions you’ve used, and have a little callout on those words’ pages saying they were featured on blogpost #n: [post title] or something. If you wanted to make an app you probably could add some kind of social features and allow people to make word pairs and vote on them, make some kind of front page showing popular new pairs and even popular word pairs in different languages for language learners? Just throwing some ideas out there.

      Never thought it would get any attention :D Not sure what to do with it but I love your ideas. I guess one of the first things is to add crowdsourcing as someone else also mentioned. Though I'm about to get a new client so less time for these projects :(
